Use this procedure if any of the following event codes are active or logged. Table 1 Event Code Description Conditions which Activate the Code System Response E100 (1) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning, Lt is logged. E360 (1) Low Engine Oil Pressure ‘The engine oil pressure is less than the trip point and the delay time has expired. F040 (3) Low Engine Oil Pressure Shutdown The shutdown output is activated, The code is logged. The engine is shut down. £360 (3) Low Engine Oil Pressure The alarm output is activated. The code Note: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Engine Monitoring System" for information on trip points and delay times. Probable Causes + Low engine oil level + Incorrect viscosity * Contaminated engine oil + Faulty oil pressure sensors + Improper circulation of the engine oil + Wom components Recommended Repairs hitps:sis.cal comisiswabisiswebrtechdocitechdoe_prnt_page jsp?retumurt=/siswebisisweh/mediasearch’mediaheaderinfoframeset jsp&calledpa 18si018 (63520 Generator Set GZB00001-UP(SEBPS411t - 19) - Documentation Low Engine Oil Level Check the oil level. Add oil, as needed, Contaminated Engine Oil gine oil that is contaminated with another liquid will cause low engine oil pressure. High engine oil level can be an indication of contamination, Obtain an analysis of the engine oil. Determine the reason for contamination of the engine oil and make the necessary repairs. Change the engine oil and the engine oil filter. For the correct, engine oil to use, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations": Incorrect Viscosity Make sure that the engine is supplied with the correct engine oil. For the correct engine oil to use, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations" Faulty Engine Oil Pressure Sensors Use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to compare the readings of the filtered engine oil pressure and the unfiltered engine oil pressure. Compare the readings while the engine is OFF. Both readings should be close to zero pressure. Ifa reading is different from zero, replace the suspect engine oil pressure sensor. Improper Circulation of the Engine Oil Several factors could cause improper circulation of the engine oil * The engine oil filter is clogged. Replace the engine oil filter. + An engine oil line or a passage for engine oil is disconnected or broken. * The engine oil cooler is clogged. Thoroughly clean the engine oil cooler + There is a problem with a piston cooling jet. Breakag cooling jet will cause seizure of the piston. restriction, or incorrect installation of a piston + The inlet screen of the suction tube for the engine oil pump can have a restriction, This restriction will cause cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure. Check the inlet screen on the suction tube and remove any material that may be restricting engine oil flow. + The suction tube is drawing in air. Check the joints of the tube for cracks or for a damaged O-ring seal + There is a problem with the engine oil pump. Check the gears of the engine oil pump for excessive wear. Engine oil pressure is reduced by gears that have too much wear. + The engine oil pump pressure regulating valve or a bypass valve is stuck in the open position. Clean the valve, Replace parts, if necessary. Worn Components Excessive clearance at the crankshaft or camshaft bearings will cause low engine oil pressure. Also, inspect the clearance between the rocker arm shafts and the rocker arms. Check the engine components for excessive clearance. Obtain an analysis of the engine oil. Check the analysis for the level of wear metals in the engine oil. ‘Copystght 1999 - 2018 Caterpillar Inc, a 40 GMT-0400 (Atlantic Standard Time) TGR hitps:sis.cat.comisiswebisiswebtechdocitechdoc_print_page sp?relumurlssisweblsisweb/mediassarchimediaheaderinfoframasetjspScalledpa.... 2/2si018 (63520 Generator Set GZB00001-UP(SEBPS411t - 19) - Documentation hitps:sis.cat.comisiswebisiswebitechdocitechdoe_print_paga spretumu sweblsiswebimediasearchimediaheaderinfoframesstisp&caledpa.... 33
